Appelbaum and Tor

So, we all know that Appelbaum was kicked from tor due to the whole rape mess (while DJB's testimony was ignored). Does that mean that he can never contribute code to tor again? Was this all a trick to stop scientists from being involved in tor?

Thanks asshole, meanwhile none of my posts was a spam.

I had no idea that this board needed the space after the >, I was under the impression that I always quoted like that here. I guess I should start using the preview functionality even for trivial posts.

I did not know that.

That's because it's not true. He left on his own and it might have been related to the rape thing, but he certainly didn't get kicked because of it.

And a claim that he was suspended in may/march 2015 from tor. https://www.buzzfeed.com/josephbernstein/sources-tor-project-board-knew-about-allegations-against-jac

Doesn't matter.

Suspended for 10 days isn't kicked out. And the May part is just him leaving Tor, not ``kicked''. They just badly worded it.
